- A mother requires her children aged 9 to 12 to 'pay' for household expenses such as streaming services, groceries, and water using play money.
- Each child is given a budget and must manage payments to retain access to services like Wi-Fi and entertainment platforms.
- If bills are unpaid, access is restricted by actions like changing the internet password, encouraging timely payments.
- The approach has increased the children's awareness and care regarding their possessions and financial responsibilities.
If they don't pay it, they don't get access to it.— Ashleigh Jade Le, a mother and the creator behind @dysfunctionalmummy on TikTok, explaining her method of charging her children for bills.
